The
HARTSHORNS
of Broseley, Salop. and
Pittsburg, Crawford Co., KS

Descendants of
Richard HARTSHORNE
and his son, Joseph and
grandson, Richard.

This line has not knowingly
been followed back beyond Richard even though Broseley
records are well documented. The Shropshire Hartshorns
appear to have been drawn to the coal and iron industries
found there. They probably came from the earliest
settlements of Leics., Derby,and Nottinghamshire.

One of three known brothers,
he and Hiram came to America.
Hiram settled in Peoria, Illinois, Richard settled in
Pittsburg.
